I was looking through DOD pictures and I was curious about BShepps car. Is it a XR1? The grizzly bars in front of the (not a nice word)(not a nice word)(not a nice word)(not a nice word)pit are the older style like what you would see on a black front end rocket or a blue front end? Is he running an older car at the dome?
Someone with more knowledge than me can give you better information than I can but I believe the car is around 10 years old.
Might be the car that was repaired at rocket that was left the announcer was talking about somebody that is using a car that is 10 years old that was abandoned at rocket
That was Cameron MarlarQuote:

Marlar was in a xr1 but Zobrist and bshepp were in blue/ grey cars and i think shepherds is like a 09 . Im pretty sure he ran the same car last year. Zobrist is newer love 14-15 probablyQuote:

Those guys are sure getting their money back on those old cars.
They said that Marlar's car was a 2009 rocket. BShepp had an older rocket as well, but it was most likely a 2014 or 2015, which ever was the last year before the xr1's. And Zobrist's car was pretty old as well, you can tell by the way the car looks, body wise, and stance.
I think at least a couple of those cars were updated to xr1 rear???
If I went I'd take an old car, risk of tearing it up is high and not much need for the aero trickery, just mechanical grip. Also demonstrates that new ain't always better... Food for thought.Quote:

Just that it was not a xr1. from 09-15 the cards were all very similar in general. And a good one is a good one no matter what year relatively speakingQuote:
